Vice President Kamala Harris gave a long pause during her interview on MSNBC when she faced a question over how she would pay for her economic plans.
The moment came early in the interview where Harris batted away slow-pitch questions such as ‘can we trust you?’
Interviewer Stephanie Ruhle asked Harris, who was giving her first network TV interview since securing her party’s nomination, how she would pay for her economic plans.
‘If you can’t raise corporate taxes or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that,’ her interviewer asked, after Harris outlined some of her plans like a $6,000 credit for young couples or subsidies for new small business ventures.
Republicans stand a decent chance of taking the chamber from the narrow Democratic majority, with a Montana Democratic-held seat growing increasingly vulnerable.
‘But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,’ Harris told her after a pause.
‘And we’re going to have to raise – we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it,’ Harris said.
